When I saw the adds for Wal-Mart on Wednesday, I didn’t see anything that I wanted. I have still been feeling pretty crummy, so I didn’t even think I would go out shopping. After flipping through the ads for the millionth time, I stumbled across something I hadn’t seen earlier. It was the beautiful Cricut Expression. I have heard SO much about die cut machines in the past few months, but had never considered getting one. (Those were for people who had extra money to spend and who were really into crafting.) After looking at several YouTube videos and going to the Cricut website and seeing everything they can do, I decided that I was indeed going to purchase this expensive “toy”. I figured if I didn’t want it, I could always return it. Wal-Mart was selling them today for $199- they usually run for $499. Yes, that is correct….a savings of $300! After sleeping on my purchase (waking up at 3:30 is no fun, no matter what day it is) I decided that I was indeed going to keep it and try it out. Let’s just say, I’m going to be crafting more these days! It’s so fun and ever so easy too! I’ll post projects soon!

Yes, I was sick this whole weekend…actually, I am still not 100% better. I have a sore throat and my voice is raspy. (Thankful there wasn’t too many customers calling in today.) I was so excited to hang out with all of my siblings this weekend and go to a corn maze but alas, I was so under the weather that all I could do was lay in bed. I was also looking forward to going to the Bunko night at my church but that too never came to pass. Oh, quick side note: I have NEVER drank a whole cup of tea until this weekend. I don’t know if it’s because I have had so much lately, or my taste buds are messed up, but now I’m starting to like it! For those of you that know me well, this is a SHOCKER! Before work today I went and got some honey to go with my Vanilla Chai Tea…it was yummy! I do miss my Starbucks, but the word is that you’re supposed to stay away from dairy while you’re sick, and I’m also going to cut back on that habit….I really am! Well, my body is still fighting something and my eyes are getting very sleepy so I’m going to head to bed.

Keep warm, and don’t forget those vitamins!

Yes, I have given into the Fall season and started drinking my Pumpkin Spice Lattes again. It was so hard to resist it when I saw it being advertised at Starbucks and also having the weather turn cold and my body needing something warm to drink. Now most of you may know that I had given up my coffee addiction….yeah, that has stopped and now I can get enough! The first day back on the bandwagon wasn’t so great. I got a horrible headache and wondered why I had decided to get coffee that morning, but of course I HAD to give it one more shot. The next day I got my PSL again and well, I’ve been drinking them ever since. Not so great on the wallet and hips, but my tummy loves it!
